This attraction of this lovely secretary (also known as a Bureau) is the deep patina that has grown richer with generations of use. Please refer to the close up photos to appreciate the true warmth of the aged patina. Decorative carving crowns the bonnet, inlay trim outlines the panel doors and multiple small inside drawers fill the interior.
While this bureau has not been restored, it is in very good used condition; there are expected age related cracks, separation and minor scratches/marks but none detract from the beauty or function of this graceful bureau.Drawers run smooth and included keys are used as pulls.
